Abstract
The influences of graphite particle size and HNO3 treatment on microstructure and cell performance of the NiO-YSZ anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells were investigated. The peak power density for the cells using 1, 3, and 6 μm graphite was 679, 603, and 549 mW/cm2, respectively. HNO3 treatment was an efficient approach to improve the wettability of graphite in water, to modify the microstructure and to enhance the cell performance. The peak power density for the cell using HNO3-treated graphite (1 μm) was 766 mW/cm2, approximately 13% higher than that of the cell using pristine graphite.
